I just started volunteering at a nonprofit to help homeless veterans in Raleigh. I want to go in there with a bit of background so that I can be extra sensitive to people there because I know many of them suffer from PTSD and self-medicate with drugs. Are there any local veterans here that could give me some advice? or perhaps other people that work with homeless people that could give me insight so I can be extra mindful and helpful?

What, exactly, is the volunteer opportunity? And are you trying to learn about veteran experiences while active duty deployed or when they return? When they’re discharged from the military? You’ve asked a pretty big question with a lot of complex answers.

First trimester insomnia?
I’m only about 5 weeks, but my sleep schedule has gone off the rail the last three nights. I’m sleepy/drowsy, settled in bed around the same time every night, and yet I cannot fall or stay asleep. I have a white noise machine, comfy bed, cool room.. etc. When I do fall asleep, it’s earlier in the morning and I sleep until 1/1:30pm. This was fine the first few nights since it was the weekend, but it can’t keep up. Anyone else experience this and have any recommendations?

Has anyone been successful in negotiating the schedule on a global pregnancy bill? My provider won't bill by visit and split the global cost into four payments all due by the 28th week.
